start this relationship with Bernhard. Its business is renowned
throughout the turf industry and is a perfect fit to help us
deliver our products across the globe. Our mission is to help all
kinds of sports venues achieve excellent year-round playing
surfaces, and with Bernhard I believe we have taken a big step
towards this."

Steven Nixon, Director for Bernhard said "This is the perfect
partnership for Bernhard and we are delighted with it. Plant health
is at the very heart of our business, it complements and enhances
the products we already offer. The partnership makes perfect sense.
Together we are taking care of the most common issues to groundsmen
and greenkeepers - too much water, too little air not enough light
and unhealthy turf. In effect, we now control all the elements that
the plant needs for healthy growth."

"This is an exciting time for us and we are very proud to
distribute products that will work alongside Bernhard Grinders and
SubAir systems to produce a total health care environment."
